- Abstract
The jackal is included in the Canidae Gray, 1821 family, falling under the order Carnivora Bowdich 1821. It is an invasive species whose range has spread from the Balkan Peninsula to the North, in Romania. In the South-eastern part of Moldavia (Galați County) it arrived from the Southeast, as the first individuals came from Dobrogea. The area populated by the species continuously extended towards the North and then towards the Northwest. If 6 decades ago, when it was first spotted, the distribution area of the jackal was very small in the Southeast of the county, in 2005 it had already exceeded half of its territory, and today it is reported throughout most of the county. It is a harmful mammal, affecting both wild and domestic species.
